Gazans, Moroccans pay tribute to Aylan with sand sculpture
Palestinians paid tribute to the tiny boy who drowned while fleeing the Syrian war by building a sand sculpture of him on Monday on a beach in the Gaza Strip.
The sculpture measuring a few metres in length depicts three-year-old Aylan Kurdi in the same position and with red and blue clothing like he wore when his lifeless body was found last week.

Britain's PM David Cameron says UK drone strike killed British ISIS fighters in Syria
Britain has killed two of its own nationals who had been fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria group (ISIS) and plotting attacks on British soil, in its first air strike in Syria, Prime Minister David Cameron said on Monday.
Despite not having a parliamentary mandate to take military action in Syria, Mr Cameron told lawmakers that, as an act of self-defence, Briton Reyaad Khan had been targeted and killed in a precision drone strike in the country.
Mr Cameron said the strike was carried out by a British Royal Air Force (RAF) remotely-piloted aircraft in August and that two people travelling with the man, including another Briton, Ruhul Amin, were also killed.

The details of the document, which is expected to streamline and simplify the procedure, will be released on Tuesday at a Vatican news conference.
Football: Prince Ali says Fifa leaders knew of corruption
Prince Ali bin al Hussein, who led a challenge against Sepp Blatter this year, hit out on Monday at Fifa leaders' links to corruption ahead of his entry into the Fifa presidential race.
The Jordanian prince is expected to declare his candidacy on Wednesday in Amman, according to sources close to the former Fifa vice-president.
Standing as a reform candidate, the prince lost to Mr Blatter in an election in May, just two days after the arrest of seven Fifa officials in Zurich.
